Transesophageal echocardiography is a crucial diagnostic modality for identifying extremely localized aortic dissection causing severe aortic regurgitation and cardiogenic shock when computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography are inconclusive.
Yamabi et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Extremely localized aortic dissection and intussusception of the intimal flap (n=1). Emergency replacement of the ascending aorta and resuspension of the aortic valve was evaluated on Resolution of aortic regurgitation and survival. Emergency replacement of the ascending aorta and resuspension of the aortic valve successfully treated cardiogenic shock caused by extremely localized aortic dissection and intussusception of the intimal flap.
